Certificate Of Competence In Zero Trust (Cczt)

Learn the planning, strategy, architecture, and real-world implementation!

What you'll learn

You will be able to define Zero Trust Architecture General Concepts thus allowing your to assess the maturity of your current state.

You will be able to explain the ZTA logical model and four key implementations will give you the ability to identify components across implementations.

You will be able to review and assess ZTA planning and strategy that aligns with business requirements and allows you to select an appropriate target state..

You will be able to select specific technology tools, products, and services that will be used to implement your ZTA.

Requirements

Basic understanding of network systems and security.

Description

Traditional network security struggles to keep up with the evolving threats of the modern era. Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) is specifically designed to address both current risks and those that may not yet be apparent. The course comprises three interconnected exercises using the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model (CISA ZTMM). By engaging with the CISA ZTMM, you will learn to evaluate the current maturity level of your environment and determine an appropriate target state. The course concludes with a final exercise, where you will discover how to implement the technological solutions chosen by your organization to meet industry standards and best practices for ZTA implementation.In this course, Introduction to CCZT, we will explore the key characteristics, origins, and rationale behind ZTA. You will learn about the logical components of ZTA, identify the underlying technology that supports zero-trust security, and examine its applications. The CCZT course is designed to help students understand how to implement measures that ensure systems and their components function correctly and are continuously validated. You will also learn the strategies, planning, and implementation of ZTA. Additionally, the course will enable students to become proficient in identifying Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP), a critical element of Zero Trust implementation. The CCZT certificate equips you with the expertise to design, implement, and manage Zero Trust security solutions.Domains Covered:Zero Trust and Zero Trust Architecture general concepts and definitionsZero Trust goals, objectives, and benefitsZero Trust Architecture logical model and key components Software Defined PerimeterZero Trust PlanningZero Trust Implementation
